Hello everyone! As some of you may know, my family used to own a fashion house from the 1950s through the 1970s. Called Anita Modes (named after my grandmother), the dresses were sold at luxury department stores nationwide. My mom (Anita’s daughter) and I are working to resurrect Anita Modes as a modern fashion label. I’ve been collecting some of the original designs, and we would like to use these to inspire the new designs.

Before we can do this, we want to do some market research to understand which designs we want to initially focus on. If you wouldn’t mind filling out this survey, we’d love to get your feedback! The survey contains all 34 designs and some questions about each. (We are not collecting any personally identifiable information). Any responses we can get will be greatly appreciated!
